Crash on version MkIIIv38 and upwards- android 4.4.4

[SilasMo]

I installed the app from google playstore. After creating a shell profile i clicked to run it, but as soon as i clicked the app crashed. So then i seach for the project( amazing by the way) , and tried alll previos versions up to MkIIIv37 which ran perfectly (i am currently running it). Am not sure if the problem is my phone. Phone : Samsung galaxy tab 3 lite sm-t116, kernel version 3.10.17, android 4.4.4, rooted with super su.

• I had no luck to reproduce it on:
  • an Android Studio API19 x86 emulator image;
  • a real Samsung Galaxy Note II model: SCH_I605 arch: armeabi-v7a.
• Code review revealed no obvious changes that could affect a particular API version or architecture.

Please, try to collect a crash log:

adb logcat -c

Repeat the crash.

adb logcat -d '*:E'

The only thing you need is to turn on the Developer's Mode on the phone and connect it to something with ADB client.

This is output of logcat of the redist release of mklllv47(old-good crashed too) because i could'nt update the mklllv37 risking loss of continers. In the dev version (tried debug and release of redist and old good) and all crashed. Same with all versions from mklllv38 and upwards. Output:

[green-green-avk]

Hmm... I need some more details:

• Please, use mklllv47 old-good debug.
• Please, capture the log this way:

  adb logcat -d '*:E'

[green-green-avk]

You could also filter the log this way to make things shorter:

adb logcat -d '*:E' | grep 'AndroidRuntime'

[green-green-avk]

By the way, I'm just a bit curious about your Android environment setup:

rooted with super su

But SuperSU Root is described as a root access manager that is supposed to be used on an already rooted device...

So your setup should include:

• TWRP;
• some kind of rooted Android firmware (about which I'm actually curious);
• SuperSU.

Is it correct?

[SilasMo]

This is actually a stock rom with which has twrp recovery flashed using odin, then I flashed Super Su zip via twrp. Everything works nicely on the phone as if it was normal. Maybe the bug is phone specified.

Please, remove filtering by green_green_avk, I need also see what is going on in the Android framework part. Just provide me with the whole Java exception backtrace only.

oh okay let me do that

[SilasMo]

Sorry for this newbie question. Is there a way of calling the host su binary from inside the container? Does sylinking it to the container work? I was trying to lldb on my phone but failed. I tried moving the lldb server binary to my phone, but in my little knowledge i think the binary was built from armhf not arm7-a(not sure if im lost).

[green-green-avk]

Maybe fixed in:

• https://github.com/green-green-avk/AnotherTerm/releases/tag/MkIIIv48_release
• https://github.com/green-green-avk/AnotherTerm/releases/tag/MkIV_dev15_release

Please, verify.

Is there a way of calling the host su binary from inside the container?

How the error message looks like?

Does sylinking it to the container work?

I need some more time to understand the matter of this question. I hope, I understand it right that it is about BROADCOM Endpoint Protection?

I was trying to lldb on my phone but failed.

It seems, PRoot is still unable to handle any other processes which use PTRACE including debuggers.

Tested and verified on oldgood and redist release of both the mklllv48 and mklV_dev_release. The app now works perfectly. Thanks @green-green-avk
